Yawe's Hard Talk

In 2020, Aqute Media conducted an in-depth exploration of the state of KCC. As a result, they produced a five-episode season that examined the evolution of dairy products from the pre-independence era to the present day, with a specific focus on KCC.

In the final episode, I had the opportunity to engage in a conversation with Timothy Gatimu, the host of Kenya's Blueprint. This conversation is what is being featured in this episode of Yawe's Hard Talk.

A school principal has to deal with a very diverse set of interests and all kinds of demands. Their ability to deal with all these is something to envy and if some of our corporates had the same level of skill available to them they would have easily waded through some of the crises that have either crippled some or destroyed others. 

This audio article looks at school principals and why we might just be overlooking a group of people with brilliant managerial skills.

A number of factors in our childhood lives have influenced how we live in our adult lives. In materialistic things, we have advanced past what we had and used. For some, they have just maintained what they had. There are others who unfortunately fell behind. This is somewhat a measure of growth. The world keeps changing and so should you.

Therefore ask yourself this: what in your life is still anchored with that of your parents? Are you still using similar appliances that were in your parent's house or have you advanced?

NOMOPHOBIA is a psychological condition where people have a fear of being detached from their mobile phones. In this day and age, most of us depend on our devices for information and connection but have we taken it far.

You are in a meeting but you are constantly checking your phone, you are driving and checking your messages once you hear that ding notification.

In this episode, Yawe gives his opinion on best phone practices and takes us back to his experiences during the landline days and why we ought to be doing better.

At times there is a misstep in our planning processes. We have succeeded in the execution of mobile money transfers. But what of the logistics in instances where delivery of goods is required. Are our roads of good quality or do we have enough vehicles? This is a misstep. It is building the house starting with the roof.
